joe Lee Dunn, former SEC assistant, dead at 75 : ‘His mentality helped to mold many men’ By Mark Heim | mheim@al.com 2-3 minutes Mississippi State football coaches Jackie Sherrill, left, Joe Lee Dunn, center, and Curley Hallman, right, direct the Mississippi State defense during the first quarter against Kentucky, Saturday, Nov. 2, 2002, in Starkville, Miss. Kentucky won 45-24. (AP Photo/Jim Lytle)AP Joe Lee Dunn, best known for his years as the defensive coordinator at Mississippi State, has died at the age of 75. FootballScoop was the first to report the news. The cause of death wasn’t reported. Texas Tech defensive coordinator Derek Jones, who played for Dunn at Ole Miss, took to social media with the news. “It was truly an honor to play for one of the best defensive coordinators college (football) has ever seen,” Jones tweeted. “Coach Joe Lee Dunn demanded that you play hard and if you weren’t mentally and physically tough, you couldn’t play for him. His mentality helped to mold many men. RIP Coach.” Dunn, who has been credited with the 3-3-5 defense, had coaching stints at eight different schools over four decades, including the SEC’s South Carolina, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State. The Ozark, Alabama native was a finalist for the Broyles Award, which honors the nation’s top assistant coach, in 1999 when he helped Mississippi State to a 10-2 season and a victory over Clemson in the Peach Bowl. He was also the defensive coordinator in 1998 when the Bulldogs won the program’s only SEC West title under head coach Jackie Sherrill. Dunn head a head-coaching stint at New Mexico and spent one season as the head coach at Ole Miss after Billy Brewer was fired shortly before the 1994 season.

Auburn WRs improving under Eric Kiesau but 'still got a long ways to go' By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-7 minutes Auburn receiver Shedrick Jackson (11) catches a pass against Arkansas during the second half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, in Fayetteville, Ark. (AP Photo/Michael Woods)AP One month has passed since Bryan Harsin shook up his inaugural coaching staff four games into the season. Harsin fired wide receivers coach Cornelius Williams on Sept. 26, a day after Auburn’s come-from-behind win against Georgia State, and replaced him with Eric Kiesau, the former Boise State assistant coach who signed on as an offensive analyst with the Tigers in the spring. Kiesau has overseen Auburn’s wide receivers for three games now, with a bye week sprinkled in to continue to focus on development at the position, and Harsin has so far been pleased with the progress of the receiving corps and his decision to promote the veteran assistant to that on-field role. Read more Auburn football: What does Kilian Zierer’s emergence mean for Auburn’s offensive line? Tigers’ offensive line aiming for another clean sheet in pass protection vs. Ole Miss Will freshman tight end Landen King get more playing time? “I think that room has improved through the work and their work and their attention to detail in certain areas in the wide receiver room that’s helped those guy make some strides,” Harsin said Wednesday during the SEC coaches teleconference. “Still got a long ways to go, but I think there’s been improvement there.” Kiesau inherited a position group that was both inconsistent and lacking in established experience when he took over a month into the season. Auburn replaced its top-three receivers from last season — with Seth Williams, Anthony Schwartz and Eli Stove all opting for the NFL Draft this past spring — and did not return a single receiver with more than 11 career receptions heading into the year. The team’s two most experienced players at the position were senior Shedrick Jackson, who spent most of his first three seasons primarily as a blocker at receiver, and Georgia grad transfer Demetris Robertson, who joined the program shortly after the start of fall camp. The rest of the room was filled with unproven — albeit talented — underclassmen such as Ja’Varrius Johnson, Kobe Hudson, Ze’Vian Capers, Elijah Canion, Malcolm Johnson Jr. and Tar’Varish Dawson Jr. Through the first four games, though, the group struggled with misalignments, drops and other errors that lowered Auburn’s ceiling on offense. As a 21-year coaching veteran with 13 prior seasons of experience coaching the position — including three as wide receivers coach under Harsin at Boise State (with another as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach) — Kiesau brought a level of experience to the role that the younger Williams lacked. He also brought a distinct level of understanding of what Harsin expected and needed from the wide receiver room for this offense to be successful. “Coach Kiesau brings a lot to the table from an experience standpoint of coaching that position, from a knowledge standpoint of just being able to sit in the room and provide value as an assistant coach for the coordinators and for what we’re trying to do offensively,” Harsin said. “…I give coach Kiesau a lot of credit: he stepped in. We talked about it before -- a quarter through the season there, and he’s able to step in there and kind of get things the way that he needs it in that room in order to maximize the potential of those guys at the wide receiver position.” In the three games since Auburn made the change at wide receivers coach, the Tigers’ receiving corps has seen some up-and-down performances. Auburn had five dropped passes in its thrilling road win against LSU, and that was followed by a season-worst seven drops — four of them from the wide receiver group — in a lopsided loss to rival Georgia. The group then bounced back with a quality showing on the road against Arkansas, as Auburn returned home with a double-digit victory and its first win against a ranked opponent this season. Against the Razorbacks, the Tigers’ receivers made explosive plays in the passing game and were more assertive in attacking the ball when targeted. “Those guys were very consistent the last time we played,” quarterback Bo Nix said. “They made just the routine plays over and over and over. A bunch of them made plays after they caught the ball, which was good to see, and we know those guys can do it and now they’re just starting to put that kind of stuff on film and do that for our offense. When those guys play well, usually we play well. That’s kind of what we’ve seen throughout this year.” Now, fresh off a bye week in which Auburn largely focused on itself and reestablishing fundamentals, Kiesau and his group will look to build off that performance against Arkansas when No. 18 Auburn hosts No. 10 Ole Miss on Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Rebels have been improved defensively in recent weeks, but they still rank 88th nationally in passing defense (241 yards per game), 82nd in yards allowed per pass attempt (7.6) and 93rd in passes of 20-plus yards surrendered (26). “We’re still working on (getting the most out of the receivers),” Harsin said. “We’re still working through those things, but I have seen improvement over the past few weeks, and hopefully that continues.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

Tuberville defends Auburn’s Bryan Harsin for not disclosing vaccination status: ‘Mandates to me are unconstitutional’ By Greg Garrison | ggarrison@al.com 4-5 minutes Auburn coach Bryan Harsin against Arkansas during an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, in Fayetteville, Ark. (AP Photo/Michael Woods)AP U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, himself a former Auburn University head football coach, today defended current Auburn Coach Bryan Harsin, who has taken heat for not revealing if had been vaccinated for COVID-19. “He’s like everybody else,” Tuberville responded to an AL.com question today about Harsin’s vaccination status. “You should have the right to make your own decision. It’s a free country. These mandates to me are unconstitutional.” Read more: Bryan Harsin declines to address vaccination status in light of university mandate Amid low vaccination rates, Bryan Harsin emphasizing it’s a personal decision Tuberville addresses vaccine mandates, Jan. 6 riots Tuberville, who was the head football coach at Auburn University from 1999 through 2008, has been vaccinated and has publicly encouraged vaccination in consultation with a physician. “I’m not going to get into the argument of whether he should or shouldn’t,” Tuberville said of Harsin. “I think he should just do the right thing, talk to the doctors, and I’m sure he’s done that.” However, Tuberville acknowledged that Harsin does have particular responsibility as a head football coach at a public university. Auburn has federal contracts and falls under the federal vaccine mandate imposed by President Joe Biden. “He’s a leader of the football team at Auburn,” Tuberville said. “I’m sure that he’ll make the right decision. I’m not going to tell him to, or not to (get vaccinated). He’s got some very good doctors there that work with the football program. He’s got people around him, all across Auburn, that help them with all their needs in terms of medical. So, I’m sure he’s going to make the right decision. I think at the end of the day we’ve just got to leave it up to him. I’d hate to see anything happen to any coach.” Earlier this month, Washington State University fired Coach Nick Rolovich and four of his assistants for failing to meet a vaccine mandate. Rolovich, who was making $3.1 million a year, had applied for a religious exemption from the mandate but was refused. “I understand that last week we lost a coach at Washington State because he was mandated to take it and they fired him because of it and he wouldn’t do it,” Tuberville said. “I think it was honorable that he stood up to his beliefs and I think that’s what anybody should do.” Tuberville said he would defend Harsin whatever his personal decision on vaccination. “If he took it, I’d come to his defense and if he didn’t take it, I’d come to his defense,” Tuberville said. “To me, it’s your personal decision. You’ve got to weigh the options, whether it’s the best thing for you, physically. This is not something that’s going to affect anyone else. It’s going to affect him personally, whether he takes it or not. I don’t think anybody else should go off what he believes or doesn’t believe, or whether he takes it or doesn’t take it. It’s an individual decision. He’s got plenty of medical advice around him and I’m sure he’ll make that right decision.” During his weekly press briefing on Wednesday, Tuberville emphasized the effects of the mandate on the military and employees of military contractors, especially in light of Alabama’s extensive federal contracts. Tuberville said he sent a letter to Biden on Tuesday asking him to reverse the mandate. “This mandate takes the decision away from doctors and patients and forces employees to choose between continuing their work to support our military or taking a vaccine they do not want for whatever reason,” Tuberville said on his weekly press call Wednesday. “Mandates are not the answer. Frank conversations between doctors and patients are.”

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the 24-year-old armorer who handled weapons on the set of Alec Baldwin’s “Rust,” was the subject of numerous complaints on her previous film just two months earlier after she discharged weapons without warning and infuriated star Nicolas Cage, a crew member told TheWrap. Stu Brumbaugh, who served as key grip on the Cage Western “The Old Way” this summer, told TheWrap that Gutierrez upset both Cage and other crew members on the Montana production by failing to follow basic gun safety protocols like announcing the arrival and usage of weapons onto the set. After firing a gun near the cast and crew for a second time in three days without warning, Brumbaugh said that Cage yelled at her, “Make an announcement, you just blew my f—ing eardrums out!” before walking off set in a rage. “I told the AD, ‘She needs to be let go,’” Brumbaugh, adding, “After the second round I was pissed off. We were moving too fast. She’s a rookie.” It was only after alerting his superiors that the production needed a more experienced armorer who did not make these kinds of basic safety mistakes that he learned it was Gutierrez’s very first movie. While her LinkedIn profile bills her as a videographer whose experience as an armorer dates to March 2021, she is the daughter of Thell Reed, a weapons expert and fast-draw exhibition shooter who is well known in Hollywood and has previously worked with actors like Brad Pitt. Gutierrez-Reed could not be reached by TheWrap and appears to have removed most of her social media presence. She did not immediately respond to an attempt to reach her via her LinkedIn page. Clayton Turnage, the first assistant director listed on the IMDb page for “The Old Way,” and reps for Cage did not respond to requests for comment. Reached Tuesday by TheWrap, a producer of “The Old Way” denied the incidents and denied that anyone ever asked for the armorer’s dismissal. “I have no such recollection of this event on our set. I asked my partners the same,” the producer said. “The details on some of these accounts specifically when it pertains to ‘The Old Way’ have been blown out of proportion.” The producer said Gutierrez-Reed worked underneath a veteran property master, Jeffrey W. Crow, who oversaw her work. Crow did not respond to a request for comment from TheWrap, but he previously defended Gutierrez-Reed in an interview with the Los Angeles Times and said he was “surprised” that any of the accidents on “Rust” “happened on her watch.” “I told them there was no way any person could do props and armory on a gunfighter movie safely because there were too many guns,” Crow said. “All the armorers I know and tried to bring in were working already, so I left it up to producers. I had never heard about Hannah until I was informed she would be my armorer, but my skepticism of her initially, about her lack of experience, was allayed after I’d worked with her.” Nicolas Cage (Getty Images) Despite those remarks, others on the set disputed this view. The incidents detailed by Brumbaugh and one other person on the set “put the cast and crew in several unnecessary and dangerous situations,” according to the latter person. Brumbaugh confirmed that the following incidents occurred, including: • Gutierrez-Reed walked onto the set with live rounds of blanks and no public announcement to the cast and crew, breaking established safety protocols. • She tucked pistols under her armpits and carried rifles in each hand that were ready to be used in a scene. Firearms were aimed at people. She turned around and the pistols that were tucked under her armpits were pointing back at people. • She twice fired guns on the set without giving any warning to the cast and crew, as required. The first time she was demonstrating the gun volume to see if the loud sound would startle the horses when without warning the gun went off. Gutierrez-Reed previously downplayed her inexperience as an armorer. Speaking on a recent “Voices of the West” podcast just a month before the “Rust” tragedy, Gutierrez-Reed said that while she had picked up some details of the job from her father, she described working on “The Old Way” as a “really badass way” to start her career, but said she learned on her own the process of loading blanks into firearms, calling it “the scariest thing.” “It was also my first time being head armorer as well. You know, I was really nervous about it at first, and I almost didn’t take the job because I wasn’t sure if I was ready, but, doing it, like, it went really smoothly,” she said in September. “The best part about my job is just showing people who are normally kind of freaked out by guns how safe they can be and how they’re not really problematic unless put in the wrong hands.” Gutierrez-Reed also said on the podcast that prior to becoming an armorer she considered being an actor or a cinematographer but found she more of a knack for weapons work. She had also been a presence on social media under the username on Instagram @no_son_of_a_gun, but within recent days of the accident, virtually all of her social media accounts have been disabled. Like many in the Hollywood production community, Brumbaugh was distraught that someone so inexperienced was in charge on firearms the “Rust” set, and said it was a function of independent budgets being too tight to maintain safety. “The tragedy is it boils down to the producers,” he said. “It’s been happening more and more. As producers refuse to bring more experienced people because their rates are higher, they demand we take our time and (producers) don’t want to pay it. So they hire a newbie who is energetic and wants the job and will do it with less people.” He went on: “The problem is she didn’t have help. I would have had minimum two more people. She was doing everything by herself in that movie and on the other movie. If there was one more person in the other movie the tragedy wouldn’t have happened. A second person would have inspected to make sure the barrels were clear.” Given the tight budget and the demands of the job, Brumbaugh understood how deadly mistakes could happen. “You have an AD screaming at you,” he said. “You’re 24 and energetic and don’t want to be yelled at. So you rush in and start arming people.”

Rolling Stone Tim Dickinson 14-18 minutes October 26, 2021 8:00AM ET They Joined an Anti-Government Militia — With Their Government Emails Rolling Stone identified nearly 40 Oath Keeper memberships linked to public-sector work credentials, including domains like nasa.gov A protester dressed in Oath Keeper gear at the "March Against Sharia" in New York City, June 10, 2017. Mark Peterson/Redux What kind of person signs up for an antigovernment militia with a government-issued email address? The answer is surprising, revealing — and, as one extremism expert puts it, “really alarming.” The purported membership of the Oath Keeper membership rolls — obtained in a hack and leaked to the transparency group Distributed Denial of Secrets — include more than 38,000 names. The vast majority of alleged members are enrolled in a way that leaves them somewhat anonymous: Their registrations are associated with a gmail or other private email address. But a review by Rolling Stone identified nearly 40 memberships linked to public-sector work emails, from domains like nasa.gov, dmv.virginia.gov, and city.pittsburgh.pa.us. Rolling Stone then matched these individuals to public-source information — from LinkedIn accounts, government websites, public salary databases, etc. — to compile a list of everyday Americans who appear to have been dues paying members of the notorious right-wing organization. Think of them as the Oath Keepers next door. Their ranks include more than a handful of law enforcement officers. But, in full, they cut across a broader cross section of society, including employees of the Treasury Department, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Veterans Administration, as well as local government workers ranging from fire fighters to auto mechanics to public school employees. “This is an organization that recruits from law enforcement and military. That is kind of their cause,” says Alex Friedfeld, an investigative researcher at the Center on Extremism, housed at the Anti-Defamation League. “Yet civilians are signing up — not folks who you would normally think would be part of the target demographic. What this shows,” he says, “is how the Oath Keeper ideology, and the broader militia-movement ideology, has permeated through society.” Making exceptions for individuals who hold, or have held, high-ranking jobs of public trust, Rolling Stone is not individually identifying these purported Oath Keepers by name. But these records underscore how the militia group has gone mainstream. The Oath Keepers ideology is steeped in conspiracy theories. The militia asks its members to defend America from federal tyranny, and swear to defy “unconstitutional orders,” which they imagine with feverish foresight. (For example: “We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.”) Membership in the organization is not illegal. But militia activities by Oath Keeper members have long been suspect. The Oath Keepers are infamous for vigilantism — including showing up toting guns in moments of social unrest. More than 20 Oath Keepers have been charged for participating in the siege of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th that sought to block President Joe Biden from assuming office. The Oath Keepers organization has not responded to questions about the hack or its data. The leaked records, which date back as far as 2009, do not indicate which memberships are current — although some individuals are listed as “life” members. (Oath Keeper memberships today cost $50 a year, or $1,000 for life.) The leaked rolls have been reported on by media outlets including USAToday, the Daily Dot, ProPublica and Oregon Public Broadcasting, as well as by Rolling Stone. This reporting has identified dozens of members of the military and law enforcement, as well as Republicans in elected office, as Oath Keeper members. A number of these individuals have gone on record confirming their affiliations. At least one individual who appears to have signed up for the Oath Keepers using his public work credentials made no secret of his ideology. Robin Cole is the former Sheriff of Pine County Minnesota, north of Minneapolis. The leaked records show him joining in 2013, when he was sheriff — about the same time he sent an open letter to constituents pledging not to enforce any new federal or state gun restrictions, decrying them as an erosion of freedom and a “moral sin.” Reached by telephone, Cole confirmed his identity but hung up after this reporter began asking about his inclusion on the alleged Oath Keeper rolls. The Pine County Sheriff’s Department — reached on the telephone number listed with Cole’s apparent membership — declined to comment for this story. Several less-high ranking officers also appeared to sign up for the Oath Keepers with their government-issue email addresses. They include an officer in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, police department; a recently retired police detective from Wyoming; a former member of the sheriff’s department from Hamilton County, Tennessee; and a former member of the Texas State Guard, who noted on his purported membership that he was, “Extremely worried about the current state of government and the disdain for the US Constitution and general US and WORLD Rule of LAW.” Leaving aside law enforcement members, the list becomes professionally diverse. There are current and former firefighters from Seattle; Columbus, Ohio; Huntsville, Alabama; and Lexington, Kentucky. The list includes a supervisor with the federal Department of Homeland Security, and a county-level homeland security director in Tennessee. The other federal employees on the purported Oath Keeper rolls are a grab bag. They include a research engineer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a communications professional from NASA, an FAA air traffic systems specialist from Arizona, a staff member at the Treasury’s Department of Public Debt in West Virginia, a physician at the Veterans’ Administration in Alabama, and a retired Air Marshall from Las Vegas. State workers are similarly eclectic — including a supervisor at California’s Department of Water Resources, an assistant supervisor in the Kentucky Department of Corrections, an instructor at a state rehabilitation center in Virginia, and a criminal investigator with the Louisiana Department of Justice. At the local level, the purported Oath Keeper list includes a school resource officer from central Indiana; individuals with school-district emails from central North Carolina and the Florida panhandle; a former recreation services employee from Wasilla, Alaska; an auto mechanic in Cincinnati, Ohio; a superintendent of solid waste management in Maryland, and civilian employees in the police departments of Huntsville, Alabama, and Washington D.C. Rolling Stone emailed each of the public employees at their work addresses seeking comment. Nobody wrote back. (A few are now defunct and could not be delivered.) Friedfeld, the extremism investigator, says the Oath Keepers’ recruiting rhetoric sometimes draws in people with a limited understanding of the group’s militant M.O. “On the surface, the way these guys talk of patriotism and constitutionality, can seem reasonable,” he says. And there are some people, Friedfeld adds, “who sign up initially and then learn a little bit more about what’s actually happening and go, ‘Oh, no. I’m out.’” One prominent Texas public employee, contacted by Rolling Stone, can’t figure out how he ended up on the alleged Oath Keeper rolls in the first place. The state comptroller’s office has a criminal division that investigates tax fraud. Institutionally pro-government, its mission is to ensure that Texas isn’t cheated out of lawful revenue. Jim Harris, now the criminal division’s Chief of Police, appears on the leaked membership list as having joined in 2013, using an email with the bureau’s internet domain at the time, cpa.state.tx.us. Harris didn’t respond directly to Rolling Stone, but Chris Bryan, a spokesperson for the comptroller’s office, says Harris denies participating in the group, or ever paying dues: “Chief Harris is not a member of the organization, and doesn’t recall ever being a member of the organization,” Bryan says, adding: “His position is that he may have put his email address on a form at some point 10 years ago, but has never been a member of the organization.” Yet many other Americans appear to join the Oath Keepers with their eyes wide open. The NASA employee, for example, added a note about how he might be useful to the militia, bragging of: “Firearms training, general preparedness, wilderness first aid [and] general combat training.” The Pittsburgh police officer appended a note highlighting his experience as a firearms instructor, and adding that he would “spread the word to my students.” “It’s really alarming,” Freidfeld says. “Seemingly ordinary people are signing up for the Oath Keepers because they think that tyranny is coming.” They’ve adopted a conspiratorial worldview, he says, that the federal government “has been co-opted by forces that are planning to do bad things — to them or their family or their communities.” These folks want to stand up, Friedfeld adds, but they don’t see any avenues for action in politics, community organizing, or other facets of civil life. “They think the solution is joining with this militant group — to protect their way of life.”

Auburn Football Auburn preparing for likely 4th-down showdown against Ole Miss Updated: Oct. 26, 2021, 9:51 a.m. | Published: Oct. 26, 2021, 9:51 a.m. Oct 16, 2021; Fayetteville, AR, USA; Chandler Wooten (31) celebrates between Auburn and Arkansas at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Todd Van Emst/AU AthleticsTodd Van Emst/AU Athletics By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com Don’t confuse Lane Kiffin’s aggressiveness for recklessness. The Ole Miss coach’s analytics-driven approach to the game has drawn some criticism — as it did in the aftermath of the Rebels’ loss to Alabama earlier this season — but there’s method to the madness. “When you dive into the analytics, it obviously teaches you to play different,” Kiffin said at SEC Media Days. “…I think some people used to do that, just gunslinger mentality of I’m just going to go for it no matter what. That is not that. That is all calculated.” Read more Auburn football: What Auburn accomplished during “productive” bye week Bryan Harsin declines to discuss vaccination status in light of university mandate Statistically speaking: Where Auburn stands after the bye week Those calculations have produced a distinct brand of football for 10th-ranked Ole Miss — a style of play that will present 18th-ranked Auburn with its own set of challenges when the two teams square off Saturday at 6 p.m. in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Rebels (5-2, 3-1 SEC) head to the Plains with the most aggressive fourth-down offense in the country this season. They lead the nation in fourth-down attempts (30) as well as fourth-down conversions (23), successfully converting 76.7 percent of the time — a rate that is ninth nationally but only behind Air Force (20-of-25) among teams who go for it at a high volume. Ole Miss this season has gone for it on fourth down at least three times in each of its seven games this season. In three of those contests — against Louisville (3-for-3), Tulane (5-for-5) and last week against LSU (3-for-3) — Kiffin’s team was perfect on its fourth-down attempts. The lone game in which the fourth-down tactics backfired for the Rebels came against the Tide, when Ole Miss converted each of its first two attempts early in the game but was thwarted on its next three. Afterward, Kiffin defended the decision to go for it in those situations, noting that Ole Miss went for it when the analytics called for it and because he wanted to show confidence in his offense. As he said afterward: Scared money doesn’t make money. That mantra and approach has generally paid off for Ole Miss under Kiffin, who has bucked the traditionally conservative way of coaching and put his trust in analytics and spreadsheets to guide some of his decision-making on gamedays. It’s something, he said, a lot of coaches have struggled with because it goes against what has been ingrained in so many of them throughout the years — but it has been beneficial to his programs at Ole Miss and, prior to that, at FAU. FAU led the nation in fourth-down attempts (44) in 2018 under Kiffin, converting 24 of them. His first season in Oxford, Miss., last fall saw the Rebels go for it on fourth down 33 times (converting 22 of them), trailing only Army and South Alabama in fourth-down attempts. This year Ole Miss is again at the forefront in that category. Quarterback Matt Corral has converted 9-of-11 fourth-down attempts through the air, as well as 5-of-7 on the ground. Ole Miss, as a team, has converted 14-of-19 fourth-down attempts on the ground. The thinking can be boiled down to basic math: Seven is greater than three; touchdowns are substantially more valuable than field goals, and those should be the goal. “That’s pretty basic, but that is a big part about analytics that, for whatever reason for years as coaches, like that didn’t hit us,” Kiffin said. “Because I think it was just the feeling of, oh, I kick a field goal, or I attempt—it’s not even that I’m going to make it. I’m just going to attempt a field goal. It’s like as a coach, I did everything I’m supposed to do. We got the ball close enough… It is hard to follow at times. I’d like to think that we follow it really well, which is why we end up being so aggressive.” That aggressiveness has altered how Kiffin and Ole Miss offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby not only approach fourth downs but their third-down play-calling as well. When you know you’re likely going to go for it on fourth-and-5 or less, it opens up more options on third-and-long than the traditional school of thought. “They’re aggressive in their third-down and fourth-down situations, so they’re going to get close, and close for them is probably a little bit more then what most people would do in a fourth-down situation,” Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said. That will be the challenge for Auburn and defensive coordinator Derek Mason, who have had an extra week to gameplan and prepare for Ole Miss’ distinct way of playing. The Tigers have been one of the nation’s best defenses on fourth downs this season, getting stops on 10 of their opponents’ 13 fourth-down attempts. In allowing teams to convert just 23.08 percent of the time, Auburn ranks fourth nationally and first in the SEC in fourth-down defense. The Tigers have allowed just one fourth-down conversion over the last six games. It all sets the stage for what should be an intriguing game of chess between the Rebels’ offense and the Tigers’ defense Saturday night on the Plains. “They’ve been very good at it,” Harsin said. “They’ve gone for it quite a bit, so you’ve got to be ready for that. And they’ve been successful with it, so they’re executing. A big part of that is their style of offense and their quarterback and his play.”

Auburn opponent preview: Ole Miss defense ByJason Caldwell 5-6 minutes 4-star DL Khurtiss Perry in action One of college football's worst defenses in 2020, the Ole Miss Rebels have taken significant strides forward this season and are coming off perhaps their best performance of the year in a 31-17 win over LSU last Saturday when the Tigers ran for just 77 yards and finished with just 326 yards of total offense. After allowing 519 yards of total offense last season, the Rebels are giving up 422 yards per game in 2021. While the improvement has shown up in the numbers, in four SEC games Ole Miss is allowing 480 yards and 34 points per game with teams averaging 214.8 yards on the ground with 11 touchdowns in four games. Prior to the LSU game, the Rebels allowed 210 yards and four touchdowns to Alabama, 350 yards and four touchdowns to Arkansas and 222 yards and a pair of scores to Tennessee. Even with the struggles at times, the Ole Miss front four is much improved with more depth and size than in recent years. There is a definite Alabama flavor to the group for the Rebels with senior Sam Williams the playmaker of the group with a team-high seven and a half sacks. The Montgomery native is a 6-4, 265 senior and a game changer off the edge. On the other side is 6-3, 255 sophomore Cedrick Johnson with junior KD Hill (6-1, 310) from Eufaula High School the middle as the nose tackle. Junior college transfer Isaiah Iton (6-2, 295) is listed as the starter at defensive tackle with another Alabama native, 6-4, 325 junior Jalen Cunningham, one of the top reserves for the Rebels. Another top reserve is former Auburn signee Jamond Gordon (6-2, 290, So.). The linebacker position is one of the most improved of any unit in the Southeastern Conference with the addition of Maryland transfer Chance Campbell in the middle. The 6-2, 240-pounder leads the team with 56 total tackles this season and is second with four sacks. Veterans Lakia Henry (5-11, 230, Sr.) and MoMo Sanogo (6-1, 230, Sr.) provide experienced voices on that side of the ball for the Ole Miss defense at linebacker. Also a key player is 5-11, 235 senior Mark Robinson. A transfer from Southeast Missouri, Robinson has 51 tackles and a pair of sacks. One of the stars on defense for the Rebels has been nickel Otis Reese. The 6-3, 215 senior and Georgia native is second on the team with 54 total tackles and also has a forced fumble to his credit. Behind him is athletic 5-9, 205 true freshman Tysheem Johnson, who has 36 tackles and one interception. In the secondary senior safety Keidron Smith (6-2, 210) has been the top playmaker for the Rebels with 37 tackles and a team-high two interceptions. Mobile native A.J. Finley (6-2, 210, Jr.) has 43 tackles and a forced fumble as the starter at free safety for the Ole MIss defense. Outside, the Rebels have solid size at cornerback with starters Jaylon Jones (5-11, 200, Sr.) and Deane Leonard (6-0, 195, Sr.) along with reserve Miles Battle (6-4, 205, Jr.).

theplainsman.com Harsin prepping for 'Heisman front-runner' Last Updated 21 hours ago 5-6 minutes Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral speaks to the media during the 2021 SEC Football Kickoff Media Days on July 20,2021 at the Wynfrey Hotel,Hoover,Alabama. (Jimmie Mitchell/SEC) Every area of Auburn’s defense is going to have its fair share of work cut out for it on Saturday evening with Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral, who Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin calls the “Heisman front-runner”. “Leader of this team, obviously on the offensive side," Harsin said. "Front-runner for the Heisman. Completing about 70% of his passes, 15 touchdowns, one [interception], he’s making good decisions.” Corral has stolen the show in every offensive performance he’s been a part of this season. The California native is completing 67% of his passes while raising his stats to the fifth-most yards thrown in the SEC this season. He’s not scraping his way to the end zone with check down after check down, he is bombing the ball down the field and hitting his targets in repetition. Harsin spoke to the quarterback’s strengths and described him as a ”football player” rather than just a typical game-managing quarterback preluding the matchup on Saturday. “I think this guy’s tough. I think he’s a tough player," Harsin said. "You know when people say 'football player,' that stands out. He happens to play quarterback, but he’s got some football player in him. He throws the ball very well; he does a very good job on play action. He runs the ball hard and he runs it physical at his position. He’s making good decisions, you can tell with his stats." Corral has done it all for the Rebels on the offensive side of the ball. He ties the team-high rushing touchdown count at nine scores on the ground while slinging the ball for 15 more touchdown tosses. Auburn’s defense will undoubtedly be put through a test with Corral at the helm of a Lane Kiffin offense. With five games remaining on the regular-season schedule, this weekend will serve as a midseason midterm to gauge the team’s level of competition against a Top 10 opponent.

"He does a lot of things for what they’re trying to accomplish on the offensive side, I think he’s got a good feel for what they’re doing. So, their offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby, coach Kiffin, those guys have done a very good job with him. "He just plays hard, every single game…So, very impressed, and he’s one of the best in the country. So you’ve gotta be prepared for that and know what you’re getting into.” The Tigers take on the Rebels at 6 p.m. CST in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 30. Do you like this story?

Ole Miss vs Auburn Game Preview Why Ole Miss Will Win Seriously, Bryan Harsin? Just as Auburn’s season got a massive boost with a strong win over Arkansas, the head coach is refusing to say whether or not he’s vaccinated. Let’s just say it’s causing a wee bit of a stir It’s different than the Nick Rolovoch situation – he was a State of Washington employee. Auburn’s employee vaccine mandate doesn’t kick in until December, but for now, it’s enough to be the focus in week when everything has to be about stopping a team that requires everyone’s full and undivided attention. On the field, the Ole Miss offense keeps rolling along with consistent balance, good explosion, and the experience of being battle-tested with wild wins over Arkansas and Tennessee before getting by LSU by 14. The brilliance of the Rebel offense – No. 2 in the nation behind Ohio State – is that it’s doing all this without screwing up. The O has given up just four turnovers – spreading them out over the last five games – and Auburn’s defense doesn’t do a whole lot to take the ball away. Just start by assuming Ole Miss walks into the stadium with over 200 yards both rushing and passing, but … – College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 9 Why Auburn Will Win Bo Nix has been strong. The oft-maligned Auburn quarterback will never be Aaron Rodgers with his accuracy – although he hit 81% of his throws in the win over Arkansas – but he’s not making a ton of big mistakes, he’s moving the offense well, and he hasn’t had to force too much thanks to a solid defense that’s getting the job done. The Tigers aren’t going to shut down the Ole Miss offensive machine, but it’s going to pressure QB Matt Corral, it’ll generate several plays behind the line, and it should be able win its share of battles. This isn’t a team that does much in the time of possession battle, but slow things down just a wee bit, control the clock against a team that has the ball for under 28 minutes per game, and … – College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Week 9 What’s Going To Happen Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball. That’s what Auburn is about to do. The ground game has the talent in the backfield, and the offensive line hasn’t been bad, but the team hasn’t hit 200 rushing yards since it blasted away on Akron and Alabama State to start the season. This week it will. The Ole Miss run defense stepped up in a big way against LSU – but that was a distracted LSU. This is a distracted Auburn, but it won’t get too funky here. Line up, run the ball, run the ball again, let Nix make a few key completions, and then hold on for dear life. It’ll be yet another SEC thriller with this Lane Kiffin team, but this time it’ll be on the wrong side of a very fun, very tight battle. – NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 8 Ole Miss vs Auburn Prediction, Lines Auburn 34, Ole Miss 31 Line: Auburn -2.5, o/u: 66 ATS Confidence out of 5: 3 Must See Rating: 4 5: The French Dispatch 1: Finch – Fearless Predictions of Every G

AUBURN, Alabama–Heading into Saturday night’s Halloween Eve football showdown vs. the Ole Miss Rebels, Auburn’s Colby Wooden and his teammates on the defensive front will try to come up with some tricks for the visitors and treats for the home folks at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After seven consecutive Saturdays of competition, Wooden noted that the opportunity to come into this week’s contest following time off will be helpful for the Tigers. “The bye week was amazing,” said Wooden, a 6-3, 276 junior from Archer High School in Lawrenceville, Ga. “I got to go home, watch my little brother, spend some time with my mom and my father,” he pointed out. “It was cool, relaxed. Got some key members back on defense. It is great.” Wooden’s “little brother” is 6-2, 185 safety Caleb Wooden, who is a verbal commitment to play for Coach Bryan Harsin’s Auburn Tigers. The younger Wooden is also a standout performer for Archer High. The older brother is in his second season as a starter for the Tigers. Harsin agrees with Wooden that the bye week was helpful and it came at a good time for his team. “The bye week provided for the players was a chance to heal,” said the coach, who is hoping to get one of the defense’s top players. linebacker Owen Pappoe, back in the mix after he missed the previous four games due to an ankle injury. Auburn will bring a 5-2 record into Saturday night’s contest and the Tigers are 3-1 in the SEC with a No. 18 ranking in this week’s AP Top 25. The Rebels are ranked 10th and are 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the Southeastern Conference thanks to a strong offense that is effective in the air and on the ground. Ole Miss is expected to be one of the biggest challenges that Wooden and his teammates on defense will face this year. Asked what the Tigers need to do to improve during their final five games of the regular season as they try to stay in the hunt to win the SEC West, Wooden said consistency is a key “whether it is more consistent with our techniques, our fundamentals, just being more consistent. Colby Wooden had a big day for the Auburn defense vs. Arkansas with two quarterback sacks. (Photo: Jason Caldwell/Inside Auburn Tigers, 247Sports) “Getting our hands on more balls, being more disruptive, coming to the ball and ripping it out,” he added. “We get there and gang tackle, but forcing fumbles and forcing turnovers would make us a more dangerous defense, more dangerous than we are now.” Opponents have fumbled 13 times vs. the Tigers, but Auburn has only recovered two. Auburn is four pass interceptions. The Tigers are plus 0.14 per game in turnover margin, which ranks seventh in the SEC and is tied for 48th nationally. 9COMMENTS The Tigers, who won their last game 38-23 at Arkansas, will try to make themselves more dangerous defensively shortly after 6 p.m. CDT on Saturday as they look to win for a sixth consecutive year in matchups vs. the Rebels.

saturdaydownsouth.com Bo Nix vs. the Ole Miss defense: Both are now surging and also the key to a potential New Year’s 6 bowl Connor O'Gara | 3 hours ago 7-8 minutes Hand up. If you had asked me to speak about Bo Nix or the Ole Miss defense before the 2021 season, I would’ve said some not-so-nice words. Nix, I predicted, was out as Auburn’s starting quarterback once Gus Malzahn was fired. Ole Miss’ 2020 defense, I said, couldn’t even tackle at a Pop Warner level. Let me be the first to say that 2021 is much different from 2020. As that relates to Nix, he’s more poised in the pocket, he’s a more dynamic playmaker when plays break down and he’s significantly more reliable on the road than he was under the previous Auburn regime (more on that later). Mike Bobo’s offense did indeed produce the best version of Nix, and even if it isn’t necessarily a version that has Cam Newton-level upside, it’s still one that can win a bunch of football games in the most challenging division in college football. As for the 2021 Ole Miss defense, it tackles at an SEC level, it isn’t out of position constantly and it can actually do the heavy lifting. It produced its best SEC performance of the Lane Kiffin era in a win against LSU, which was a week removed from holding a top-20 Tennessee offense to 11 points less than its season average. Dare I say, Saturday’s SEC West showdown between Ole Miss and Auburn is the “something’s gotta give” game that the 2020 version of myself would’ve never believed. And like all quality, late-season SEC West showdowns in 2021, there are New Year’s 6 bowl implications on the line. Oh, and in case you’re into that sort of deal, the all-important title of “this week’s No. 2 team in the SEC West” is also up for grabs. If you had used “broken” to describe Nix or the Ole Miss defense in 2020, you would’ve been well within your rights. Both parties had their fair of defenders who pointed to other culprits for their shortcomings. For Nix, it was the poor offensive line, Chad Morris or Gus Malzahn. For the Ole Miss defense, it was the pandemic, the new system and the non-complementary offense. Nix finished No. 11 among qualified SEC signal-callers in quarterback rating. Ole Miss was dead last in scoring defense. Compare the year-to-year differences and you’ll be surprised that Nix’s numbers really aren’t a whole lot different outside of a few things (I’m only doing against Power 5 competition because that’s all SEC teams faced in 2020): Passing yards/game 219.5 237.3 Completion percentage 59.9 59.3 Points/game on road 20.0 27.3 Ah, you see there? The road numbers. That’s what’s been most encouraging. And keep in mind that those 3 road games this year were against Penn State (No. 6 scoring defense), Arkansas (No. 8 pass defense in FBS) and LSU (no Auburn QB had won there in the 21st century). Nix doesn’t have a pad-the-stats road game against Vandy or Mizzou in there. Of course, Saturday is at home, where Nix has been at his best throughout his career. That point just illustrated that the biggest knock on Nix coming into 2021 seems to have been figured out. It’d be premature to say that Ole Miss’ defense is entirely figured out, but the last 2 weeks with a healthier group were certainly encouraging. Think about this. In the last 2 games, Ole Miss held Tennessee to 26 points and LSU to 17 points. Last year in 9 games against SEC competition, Ole Miss only held 2 opponents to fewer than 33 points. They were against Vandy, who had the worst Power 5 offense in America, and MSU, who had the No. 13 offense in the SEC … and both of those teams actually scored more points than their season averages against Ole Miss. In fact, of the 9 SEC teams that Ole Miss faced in 2020, every single one of them scored more than their season averages. In 2021, Ole Miss faced 4 SEC teams and Arkansas was the only team that scored above its season average. Yeah, that’s wild. It’s by no means an elite SEC defense — Ole Miss still only ranks No. 11 in the league in scoring defense — but it’s absolutely improved. In addition to having a guy like Maryland transfer Chance Campbell in the middle of that defense, part of the reason the past 2 games have seen such a turnaround could be attributed to the return of safety Jake Springer. The Navy transfer played against Louisville, Tennessee and LSU. Coincidence that those were the 3 best defensive games of the year for Ole Miss? Probably not. Springer is graded as the No. 7 SEC safety on PFF, but like fellow 2020 transfer defensive back Otis Reese, he plays all over the place. This is his snap count: Box: 65 Free safety: 58 D-Line: 26 Slot CB: 17 Wide CB: 3 That allows Springer to be in the right place at the right time, like he was on that strip sack of Max Johnson on Saturday: With Springer forced to sit in 2020 because of NCAA transfer rules, Reese was really the only guy who could do that last year for Ole Miss, and he was stuck in SEC transfer purgatory until the end of the season. Kiffin had this great quote about Springer’s impact after the LSU game (via Rebel Walk). “Just a few weeks ago, sitting here really not stopping Arkansas. Jake Springer has a lot to do with it (improvement). He’s kind of like Matt on offense. Players feed off him.” The emotional leader of that group, linebacker MoMo Sanogo, told me in the offseason that the defense was finally holding its own and getting stops against the high-octane Ole Miss offense. No longer could Kiffin predict a play would result in a touchdown knowing that the defense really wasn’t prepared to stop it. And for all the talk in the offseason about Nix being a more natural fit in Bobo’s offense than Malzahn’s offense, we’re actually seeing that play out. The question is which side will continue their 2021 turnaround on Saturday. Perhaps both will have their moments and it’ll instead come down to the health of Corral against an Auburn defense that improved lately itself. Whatever the case, there’s no denying that without defensive improvement, Ole Miss wouldn’t be in the top 10 in the Associated Press Top 25 and without Nix’s Year 3 strides, Auburn wouldn’t be on the cusp of a top-15 ranking for the first time in the Bryan Harsin era. Hand up. I can’t say I thought I’d type that sentence in 2021.

Auburn's junior QB made the cut Tuesday for the most renowned quarterback of the year accolade in college football. Bo Nix's name is one of 40 on the Davey O'Brien Award's official list of candidates, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon. Only from that crop of 40 players can be the winner of the 2021 Davey O'Brien Award, presented annually to the top QB in the sport. Alabama's Mac Jones won it last season. Nix joins seven other quarterbacks from the SEC to make the late-October list: Stetson Bennett (Georgia), Matt Corral (Ole Miss), Hendon Hooker (Tennessee), KJ Jefferson (Arkansas), Will Levis (Kentucky), Will Rogers (Mississippi State) and Bryce Young (Alabama). The ACC has the second-most representatives with six. A former five-star recruit who has started all 31 games for Auburn since the 2019 season, Nix is currently 10th in the SEC in quarterback rating, sixth in passing yards per game, 10th in completion percentage, and is tied for the second-fewest interceptions in the conference with only two on the season. Since being benched in favor of LSU transfer T.J. Finley in Auburn's win over Georgia State in Week 4, Nix has 764 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, five total touchdowns and two picks in his last three games, as the Tigers have started 2-1 in the SEC, with two road wins over LSU and Arkansas, and a loss at home to No. 1 Georgia. Nix is coming off the best road performance of his Auburn career, completing 21-of-26 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and a pick, plus 42 rushing yards and another touchdown on the ground in a 38-23 win at Arkansas in Week 7, before Auburn's bye week. Through seven games, Nix is on pace to have his best season at Auburn in terms of completion percentage (60.7%) and quarterback rating (130.5). "He makes throws, scrambles when he has to, and he makes the big plays for us," Auburn offensive guard Brandon Council of Nix on Tuesday. "He's Houdini — what can we say? He does it all."

ok tiger i got it.

bye

ok i trust npr. but the facts are changing pretty quick from what i understand. so now we are back to masks right? they just stated the masks help but how many in this country refuse to wear one because it infringes on their freedom? it is a very bad and selfish look. also we have had what, three variants? i have not watched the news in quite quite a while but there are differences i believe? i am not going to swear on that but i imagine someone on here knows..............

dude you just told two of us we were lying or spreading lies. same boat in my opinion. are you not the cat arguing with bird on aborted fetuses in the vaxx and he tried explaining it to you and you still did not get it? if not i apologize.

it is called being cautious. i got my vaxx because it is a horrible death and also i would never ever want anyone to get the virus if i can do anything about it. it is that simple. it has nothing to do with politics at all.

if you continue to call people liars maybe you need to post some links backing up your claims. there is absolutely no need for it at all.
